Sapelo Santa (Ho, Ho, Ho, Sapelo)

October 15, 2014

While on Sapelo Island, Bryan from the Georgia Conservancy gave me a couple pieces of tin. He had found them in a field on the north part of the island. I started painting on one of them while I was there. I painted on the old tin near the beach, in front of the Reynolds Mansion and along side a salt marsh. For some reason, when I looked at the rusty metal I saw a gnome-styled Santa—  so Sapelo Santa was born. I am donating him back to the Georgia Conservancy. He will have a good new life. “Ho, Ho, Ho, Sapelo!”
